1960's weekender fully renovated 3 mins to beach

ErinRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Everything was perfect as expected. However, if you have two vehicles, this probably needs to be considered when staying here, as street parking isn’t as close as expected and immediate out the front of house parking is limited to one car spot or for a smaller to medium size vehicle, which makes things a bit difficult haha. Otherwise, amazing stay, super close to beach and convention centre and other services. I definitely recommend!! <3 amazing service from host too.

A spacious bedroom is seen featuring a comfortable bed with light striped bedding and a decorative teal throw. Large windows provide stunning ocean views and natural light, while a flat-screen TV hangs on the wall. A dining area is subtly visible in the background.

Spectacular Surfers Paradise Luxury BEACHFRONT

TimRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is a really great property in a modern apartment block. Everything about the property is friendly and homely. The photos and information on Airbnb are very accurate and can be totally trusted. The properties orientation is great, overlooking the ocean, a small park, and the town of Surfers paradise, so there’s plenty to look at from the spacious balcony. All rooms are a good size and well appointed. Can’t find any faults with this property. I can’t believe we’d have found any place any better for our 6 night stay. Pretty much perfect, 10 out of 10.

NhiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We love our stay at Magic Views with beautiful gardens and ocean to look at day and night. Easy access to beach just a minute away. Our 7 yo boy loved his sofa bed. We called it "Transformer bed". Would come back again every year. We love the place and its surroundings.

TOP location. Beach Resort Apartment 2bed 2bath

SueRating, 5 stars1 month ago

An excellent family-style holiday place that has excellent air conditioning, surprisingly uncrowded lifts/pool/tennis court/carpark for a very warm weekend in March only 2 weeks after the cyclone. Beach was in great condition; coastal path fantastic for walking/kids with scooters, as was the two nearby playgrounds (DO visit Laguna Park as well as the pirate playground!) Good beach and water views even from this corner of the building, and the double-glazing on the bedrooms helped keep the highway noise down.

A spacious balcony features a dining table with four black wicker chairs and potted plants. The view overlooks greenery towards the beachfront, with ocean visible in the distance. Large glass doors allow natural light to fill the area, enhancing the connection with the outdoors.

KeirenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My family and I loved our 6 night stay at Jill's apartment in Palm Cove. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious and it had great views of the beach. Even though we couldn't fit our ute into the carpark, there was plenty of on street parking nearby. Having the Tallebudgera Surf Life Saving Club so close was ideal, as their restaurant is fantastic for both lunch and dinner. We would definitely stay again at Jill's place.

A bright living area features a light, neutral sofa and a unique coffee table. Large windows provide a view of the ocean, while sheer curtains allow natural light to fill the space. A plant adorns the window ledge, adding a touch of greenery.

The Retreat. Palm Beach

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Staying here made me want to pack up and move from Melbourne to Palm Beach and live in this apartment forever! It's a small apartment but the interior design makes it feel much bigger and the endless views does wonders. I'm not an early riser but here I was up everyday to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the balcony with a coffee. Simply incredible! The hosts were lovely and made the stay easy, they also weren't stingy with the coffee pods. I will absolutely stay here again.

Caba Pink - Luxury 3 Bedroom Ocean View Apartment.

CeliaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a wonderful stay at Caba Pink over the weekend. The apartment is very spacious and stylishly appointed with thoughtful inclusions- we did not want for anything! The linen, towels, furnishings, kitchenware were all of high quality brands and that’s all before I even get to the view and location. The apartment has an extremely large deck to enjoy the ocean view, great in wet and sunny weather. It was an easy walk in to town and all the great restaurants- we very much enjoyed Paper Daisy. Thanks Christian and Kate- I would highly recommend Caba Pink.

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved our stay, well set up with the little extras like basic pantry staples, body wash, shampoo & conditioner, laundry detergent. Location is amazing - across the road from Nobbys beach and walking distance to Nobbys restaurant/cafe strip. Parking great for large vehicles - hard to find for a lot of accomodation. House was as described and presented in pictures. Carolyn was great to communicate with and assisted with providing cot and baby bath at late notice. Would recommend stay.

ClaireRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful unit. Photos don’t do it justice. The view is absolutely spectacular and all the finishes were incredible! The bed was very firm (ok for husband not for me) and very squeaky when rolling over during the night. The balcony and the way it opens up provides a beautiful breeze and the fans are wonderful on those warm nights. Jason was wonderful to deal with and very quick to respond. Wish we didn’t have to leave but will return. We met friends for dinner and drinks and they loved it also and will also come stay here next time!
